Which of the following is consistent with the idea of localization of function? a. All of the above. b. Specific areas of the brain serve different functions. c. Neurons in different areas of the brain respond best to different stimuli. d. Brain areas are specialized for specific functions.

a. All of the above

Explanation:

The idea of localization of brain function is underscores by the fact that; certain regions of the brain are designated to coordinate particular functions of the brain. Thus behaviour is controlled by certain parts, emotions by specific parts, sleep and wastefulness by another parts etc. E. g a region in the frontal part of the left cerebral hemisphere called Broca area is localized as the speech center of the brain. This was proposed by Paul Broca, and it formed the beginning of the concept of localization of the brain.

Its application is in the tracing of disease or malformation of brain functions. thus if an individual is manifesting certain neurological disorder, with the aid of neuroimaging techniques, the specific brain region localized for the condition can easy be traced for effective management.
